Enough with the Rain

Ok, I have had it with the rain. I thought we may have had our annual rainfall in December when all hell broke loose in Southern California. I was happy to see us get some rain in February, just to make sure we got enough, no drought etc etc etc. But the last few weeks of rain have done me in.

Last Sunday was the best… I had to get the arborist out on Sunday, in 60 mile an hour gusts, to save one of our trees before it fell to earth and perhaps destroyed a fence. And later that night I had to get someone out to help us clear some county drains that run through our property that were clogged. Looked like we had a swimming pool in our backyard…when we don’t.

I have not seen yearly rainfall totals for Los Angeles, but something tells me we blew past our average totals for the year. Can we say no drought for a while?

In my continuing quest of sharing Conscious Prevention I want to tell about a patient that I had this week. She was really nervous about her appointment, she had really stressed out about it. Her husband told her to use nitrous oxide to help her relax..but she was stressing about that as well. Everyone in the office took their time with her and she eventually decided to try the nitrous after I told her how easy it was to use and control. After the appointment she thought the Nitrous was the next best thing after sliced bread. She felt so relieved that she could get through the appointment that she set up her next couple of appointments right then. She overcame her objections to treatment and now she is taking positive actions to get her conscious prevention going. Who knows….maybe I can get her to floss everyday next.

I got to let you know how therapeutic it is for me just to sit and write this blog. It helps me remember some cool stuff going on in my life and this in turns help my mental well being. Just another part of staying healthy. So, what are you going to do this week to help yourself on a path of being healthier. Whatever it is just do it so you don’t have to depend on our health care system to make you better.

April 16th my office is participating “Healthy Kids Day” at the Hollywood-Wilshire YMCA at the intersection of Selma and Schrader. The YMCA puts on this event so local organizations and businesses can reach out to the youth and families in their community. The office goal is to try and teach something about the benefits of dental home care and eating right to prevent cavities. Ashley Grant, the local Proctor and Gamble rep is going to be helping me as well. With luck I can also do some basic screenings to let parents know about their kid’s mouths. Stop by and say hello if you are in the neighborhood.
